Will Mists of Pandaria Kill WoW?
I've been meaning to make a video on this, but in the mean time, I will write about it instead.
I haven't heard great things about Mists of Pandaria from fellow gamers, and a lot seem to be ending their WoW subscriptions because of the expansion. Many said the top reason was because an expansion about Pandas is just god damn ridiculous. What do you guys think? Will you be leaving WoW to try another game such as Tera or GW2? Or are you leaving because the expansion has nothing too great to offer?
On a personal note, Mists of Pandaria isn't too appealing to me. The only thing that jumps out are the landscape designs and also how players can level with other players from different realms, meaning that Azeroth won't appear to be a ghost town as you're leveling up. Blizzard is hyping up the Pandas a lot, but to be honest, most of us aren't even too thrilled about them in the first place. What started out as an April fools joke is now turning to reality. That's just not right!
So what CAN Blizz do to satisfy WoW players?
*As much as Blizz hates the idea, and as much as a pain in the ass it would be to develop, maybe Blizz should really consider Guild/Player housing. A lot of their subscribers have been asking about this for years. It could possibly bring back a lot of players.
*The honor system has to be changed. Your honor should be granted based off of damage done/healing done AS WELL AS specific BG goals (capturing a flag, defending a node, etc).
*Blizz needs to add a new component to the game. I know I mentioned this in a previous video, but it is true. PvP and PvE is enjoyable, but once we have completed the content and have to keep up on it with more than 1 alt, it can get extremely repetitive at a fast rate. Blizzard needs to add another component besides PvP and PvE, or they need to add new ways to get equivalent gear in a similar matter. For instance, bring back world PvP, and make it possible to get honor gear that way. We also need something to do when we are just damn tired of questing, dungeon/raid grinding, BG grinding, and farming for mats.
*Change. Veteran WoW players seem to get bored of this game at a fast rate lately. All of my friends who have been playing since Pre-BC are on and off with this game, meaning they will play for 6 months, and then ditch it for 6 months because it has nothing new to offer. Blizz needs to spice it up and take some risks. They need to do major revamps that will keep players lured in for a long time. They should consider mounted combat (players would have a an action bar of about 4 of their best moves, and their mount would have something specific, similar to a racial), they should consider character model revamps to enhance the graphics, a lot more customization, and etc!
